  1. I had to repace my front forks, I got some new carbon ones from wiggle and a carbon steerer bung.

    Now left from when I look apart my old forks were the following components:

    2 1/4inch rings (spacers that went beneith the handle bar barrel clamp)
    2 rings that run round the barings in the frame
    a plastic bung thing that i had to pry out which held the top baring ring thing in. and a little plastic cover.

    So i tryed to put it all back together, so from the bottom up the baring ring, then the frame then the top baring ring, bung shoved down that as best I could, then the 2 rings then the handle bars, now I know that there is more to it than that, I just don't know what!?!?!

    There is a bit of horizontal movement from the steerer.

    I'd never done it before, and I was being stupid thinking I could just bang it all back together, help would be much appreciated.

    If picture would help a LOT, I can get them.

  2. do you take the bearing race off the old fork and put it on the new fork, and did it fit the new fork?

  3. why do I have a red dot under my name?

  4. Its blue now! 😄

    Yea I removed it from the old fork; needed a little easing off mind you, then I put it onto the other fork, slid it down, and shoved it into position, then fed them through the frame - checking the ball race was there ok. on the top I made sure the ball race was there, put the other bearing race on shoved the stopper bung type thing down; as best I could without the tools I guess one would need to do that properly. Put on the 2 spacers, handlebars then top cap assembly.
